Frequently Asked Questions / Re: Water coming out of bypass valve

« on: March 08, 2018, 07:31:01 AM »

I think I misrepresented this.  What is leaking is the pressure relief valve.  It triggered when I turned on the pump with the shutoff valve closed between the CSV and my pressure switch.   After I opened the shut off valve, everything is working like on my old setup, but the pressure release valve is dribbling.   So, can I buy a new pressure release valve some where or is there some way to adjust/clean it?

Frequently Asked Questions / Water coming out of bypass valve

« on: March 07, 2018, 04:27:39 PM »

I recently replaced my pressure tank.   I replumed when I did and put a shut off valve between my CSV and my pressure switch.   When I turned everything back on, I forgot to open the shut off valve.   The pump turned on and triggered the overflow valve.   I quickly opened the shut off valve and everything was working as expected.   Shortly after, I have a very small amount of water coming out of the overflow valve on the top.    Is there some way to fix / adjust this?

Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / CSV1a install - PRV necessecary?

« on: November 23, 2012, 11:36:58 AM »

I was reading the installation guide and it references a pressure release valve.   I don't have an easy place to drain it to.   What would happen if I just plug up that opening and install as normal from there?   My current system doesn't have a PRV in the system.   I have a large tank that I plan on re-using.

The other question I have is : Is it ok to have the red portion(part with adjuster on it) of the CSV horizontal instead of pointing to the sky?

Thanks for any help
